Lifelong Service: AmeriCorps Alums' Amity Tripp

Today’s podcast features Amity Tripp, director of AmeriCorps Alums,
a project of Hands On Network. AmeriCorps Alums connects and
mobilizes the 400,000 alumni of AmeriCorps programs — national,
community service opportunities for people to serve in
organizations, agencies, and schools throughout the United States.
Amity is the founder of the local Washington, DC, chapter of
AmeriCorps Alums, and has been on the staff of Points of Light
Foundation (now merged with Hands On Network), and with the DC
Commission on Voluntary Action and Service.

Amity talks with Idealist’s Amy Potthast about the role of
AmeriCorps members, the long-term benefits of serving in AmeriCorps
and achievements of alumni, and the work of AmeriCorps Alums
nationally and locally.
